"Your Product Activation Key Reached Its Activation Limit..."

Hello,

I am facing an issue activating Parallels 9 on a newly purchased Macbook Air. I'm a software engineer, and I change computers every few months depending on the job at task. I've never been able to "deactivate" my parallels activation on any of these previous computers since there is no option to do so; however, I re-format these computers before selling them (if they're mine), or the company to which the laptop belongs does so (note: I uninstall my programs on these computers before handing them back). This way, my software licenses are used only by me.

Long story short: I switch computers a lot because my job requires it, and now Parallels is yelling at me because I activated my license too many times. I have yet another new computer for work, and I cannot activate Parallels on this machine.

I've been using Parallels for a number of years, and buying another license is not an option. I will undoubtedly continue to have to switch computers at least once a year. If that means contacting customer support once a year, I'm fine with that. However, I can't find a phone number or email address to contact, so any help from a representative would be much appreciated...

I cannot request a trial license either, since it keeps showing an exclamation mark next to my email address. I'm effectively unable to use the software I paid for.

Thanks,

Hello, I have a new Mac Book Pro and want to transfer Parallels 11, which I bought two months ago.
I intend to sell my old computer and erase all information and contents from it.
The registration on the new computer fails because the activation limit is reached.
On the old computer I do not find a possibility to free the registration.
How can I transfer the registration?
Best regards and thanks in advance for your soon reply.

Hi

I wanted to move from an old mac to a new mac (deinstalled on old). Unfortunately i get the activation error:

Your product license has reached the activation limit. Contact the Parallels support team for assistance.

Is it possible to set a new machine to the licence? I was not able to find...

Thank you and kind regards

Hi Dominik, please check your private message and respond.
 
I am having activation issues for the first time in years of using Parallels -- from reading other messages in this forum it seems I'm supposed to provide my keys in private messages, but I can't figure out how to do that?
 
Hello,
Following motherboard exchange I'm not able to activate Parallel Desktop.
Could you please tell me what is the process to let me reactivate the licence on my mac.

Best regards.
 
Hello,

Like many others in this forum, I just bought a new computer and am receiving the "reached activation limit message". Since Parallels support obviously monitors this thread, I am requesting a reset of my activation. Thanks in advance for any help. Regards, Dan

Hello,
I need help with deactivating my Parallels Desktop 9 license on an older iMac so I can use it on a new iMac. I've uninstalled the software and installed it on the new computer but when activating it says "I've reached maximum limit".

Hi.

I recently bought a used MacBook, and succesfully instaled my copy of Paralles 9. Unfortunatelly, a few days later this laptop broke with no repair options, so I bought another one. By attempt to install Parallels 9 on new machine, I got this message "reached its activtion limits".
